Not that great a problem. Layers can be moved with the arrow keys. Layers can be deleted by selecting the layer and clicking on the trash can icon. The only thing that was difficult was creating layer groups.
Probably more like a Gimp/Windows relation problem. Gimp was built for Linux, wasn't it? I find this is often the case... when one software is built for a specific OS, it tends to be finicky when installed on another.
So how does one move layers with the arrow keys? Selecting the layer and hitting the arrow keys simply changes which layer is selected. I tried Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc. but none of those work (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow flips the orientation of your display just FYI). There's tons of Google hits on how to move a layer with the arrows keys on the canvas but that's not exactly what I mean by "move layers".
